Alcon Hymnal: Soul Inspiring Songs #148 (1929) First Line: I’m in the way, the narrow way Lyrics: 1 I’m in the way, the narrow way, To mansions bright and fair, With friends I’ll be so glad and free, I’ll be no stranger there. Refrain: I’ll be no stranger there, I’ll be no stranger there, When all the saved come from the grave, I’ll be no stranger there; I’ll be no stranger there, I’ll be no stranger there, When all the saved come from the grave, I’ll be no stranger there. 2 The Lord will call both great and small To mansions bright and fair, To heav’n above where all is love, I’ll be no stranger there. [Refrain] 3 My path is bright my burden light, I have a home up there, I’ll sing His praise thro’ countless days, I’ll be no stranger there. [Refrain] 4 The Savior stands with outstretched hands He’s calling me up there, His voice I hear, I have no fear, I’ll be no stranger there.
